Wait is this that guy that posted a video and then shot the people or someone else?

Cause if it's the guy who posted a video, he's a flagrant douchebag. Did anyone else watch that?

Like Jesus. He needed to be put away.

WHO'S LAUGHING NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHHA!

I don't have internet or T.V. at my apartment, only my radio.

Most of my entertainment is talk radio, NPR is 50/50 good/bad, Christian stations are the most amusing, but it's shitty Christian rock or choir music

So Conservative talk radio is it most of the time, and the blame game these guys are playing on this topic is amazing.

My favorite is them focusing on the Hunger Games.

[idlehands]

Wtf, Hunger Games? Explain how they got to that point?

Also, Turt, the dude was a mass murderer, not a serial killer. Gawd.

He didn't deserve to have a girlfriend.

The idea of "deserving" or, conversely, "not deserving" a girlfriend, treating a human female as a reward for good behaviour, is exactly the sort of fucked up attitude that poisoned this guy's mind and that people are so violently repulsed by in his videos.
Congratulations. You're part of the problem.

Oh that's right his dad was a director...well shit, if he couldn't get laid with that card in his back pocket, there really wasn't any hope for him.

I never really liked that whole sentiment of a guy "deserving" a girl, especially since it's like you said, the implied reward for behaving a certain way. I mean, when you can subtitute "I've been a nice charming guy, I deserve a girlfriend" with "I've been a good employee, I deserve a raise" and maintain the same implications, it's a bit fucked up. It's part of the reason the "friend zone" is stupid as fuck because the implication there is that if you're nice and devoted to a girl outside of a relationship, she's a bitch for not wanting to date you. It's a shitty term for shitty people.

As for shooter McGaven here, he was obviously fucked up and had way too many things wrong with him, but him being a pig is just a garnish. I wouldn't blame his actions on him thinking he was being screwed over by girls and it drove him nuts, since he went after his housemates mainly, half the victims were guys. You don't stab three people to death and then shoot three more over blue balls, otherwise half the internet would have murdered somebody by now.

Long story short, you probably aren't going to find why he killed those people on his YouTube videos. His shitty opinions aren't a precursor to murder.

[The Nexerus]

What Rex obviously meant is that he didn't deserve a relationship, represented by the formerly universally accepted but now suddenly politically incorrect phrase, "getting a girlfriend". A phrase that is not remotely sexist on its own and that can, does and has travelled in both directions.

He was mentally unstable and wildly egotistical. He wouldn't have been able to carry on a relationship. That is why he didn't deserve one.

It wasn't society that made him murder four men and two women, it was his own mental issues. All of the claims that "the patriarchy" or misogyny are to blame for his murders are absurd.

That was my whole point. Nobody "deserves" a girlfriend (or conversely, boyfriend, because men are objectified by women too). Nobody is entitled to a partner of any kind, because thinking that you "deserve" to have someone means you are objectifying that someone whether you have a someone or not. The problem wasn't that he didn't have a girlfriend, it was that he was a self-entitled psycho who thought the world owed him something.

The reactions of some people about him are even more disgusting though, I've seen men saying that this is why "girls shouldn't friend zone" because "that causes this kind of thing".

Um, no, it doesn't. What causes this kind of thing is a lack of respect for one's fellow human beings (of both sexes). It's the same as blaming a rape victim because she was dressed provocatively. So… the man had absolutely no control over his behavior? The heart of the problem is at its simplest, a lack of respect. I hear girls complain all the time about dress codes and "protecting the guys" y'know the whole "don't make your brother stumble" when it's the guys that should be held accountable for their attitude about the girls. Even some of the "nicest" (and by nice I really mean decent human being) guys can slip into having this view of women, because it's so common and so widely accepted. Joking about it and making it seem like no big deal actually promotes that kind of thinking. If women don't want to be treated like objects, then both men and women need to build up an intolerance for the kind of disrespect they are allowing to occur, or it will continue to exist and women will continue to be blamed for "causing" things that were absolutely not their fault.

Glad we're all on the same page and able to look at this objectively.
